‟Redmellon has been a great partner for the New Orleans Women’s Shelter, both financially and [due to] the time and effort they have put into it. It has been a pleasure to work with their team. I don’'t know how they manage to balance their social mission with the financial aspect of what they do and the honest answer is I don’t really care…as long as they keep doing it.”–Dan Silverman, New Orleans Women’s Shelter

‟Building high-quality homes for people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford them is a wonderful thing. But to build affordable housing in a way that strengthens the essence of place and helps restore community, is far more rare. Redmellon achieves this by redeveloping small sites throughout a neighborhood, seeding investment, spreading opportunity, and adding density while protecting scale and diversity. Although it makes perfect sense, this approach requires resourcefulness and innovation. The firm is especially skilled at assembling the funding and talent necessary to carry its projects forward, but perhaps its real genius springs from its profound respect for New Orleans’ built environment and an ability to tap into a deep reserve of love for the city’s neighborhoods.”—Julie Campoli, author of Visualizing Density and Made for Walking

‟When Redmellon began renovating houses in Gert Town they reached out to us to see how we could work together. For almost ten years now they have been working with us to help bring community programs and childcare to our residents. They are more than colleagues – they are friends.”—Rev. Kaseem Short, Executive Director Gert Town Community Development Center
